2710/88A Christie Street, St Leonards NSW 2065

| risk premium attached | layout works for singles or couples | balcony orientation matters | no on-site parking is a constraint Buying this property positions you against a rental yield penalty of about 5.4% when compared to the suburb average, so the price paid needs to absorb that gap. The land-only component is negligible at 2m², which caps long-term capital growth—this unit must work on amenity appeal, not scarcity. The open living and kitchen layout is efficient, and the rooftop facilities add genuine lifestyle leverage, making it a hold for rental or short-term owner-occupancy, not a flip. What is rare here is a new-build floorplan that actually uses 58m² well: the bedroom has balcony access, the living zone opens out, and the kitchen’s stone island and integrated appliances are above par for this price bracket in St Leonards. The Anzac Bridge view and PTW architectural provenance give it a competitive edge over comparable units in the complex. This property serves best a professional couple or single who values location and finish over space and car parking. From the comparable sales data: unit 2702/88A at $868k and others in the complex confirm a narrow value band. This property’s estimated midpoint of $930k sits above that, meaning you are paying a premium for zenith views or a higher floor—check if that view justifies the gap over internal comparables. This supports treating the property as a finely priced lifestyle unit, not a value play. Next step: verify the balcony orientation and view at the inspection, and benchmark against any unit already sold in the building within 90 days.
